Pembleton:
I had the stroke; I almost died. I'm supposed to be a different person, huh? I'm supposed to treat people better?

Bayliss:
I'm not people; I'm your partner.

Pembleton:
Oh, you're my partner. I sit at a desk. I am of absolutely no use to you and I'm your partner. I watch my weight. I watch my diet. I watch my blood pressure. Every 8 hours, no matter where I am, or what I'm doing, I hafta take a little white pill. If I don't follow the rules, I die. I'm not going to treat you differently. I won't. 'Cause that's not who I am. And who I am is all I have left.
